Well, I'm used to rubbing shoulders with crooks and criminals.

People like to pigeonhole you.

The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.

Some of my best experiences are with writer/directors. Guy Ritchie is one. I feel they have a clearer view of what they want to do. They haven't got to try and interpret someone's writing; it's all theirs. I really admire that.

You only get one shot in your life and you might as well push yourself and try things. There's so many interesting aspects of making a movie; the costume department, the set design, the casting itself, the locations. It's a great, great thing to be involved in if you have the headspace for it, and I do. Try anything once.

Once you expose your private life, if you give one little bit, the floodgates are open and everyone's got a free range for you.

It's hard to predict what kinds of people are going to enjoy it [film]. And what people ain't. That's the movies. You never know.
